About Chase
Author, speaker, leader, operator, and advisor.
Biography
Chase Sheffield grew up in rural Georgia, where his father ran an auto repair shop and his mother worked as a nurse. Together they raised Chase and his sister across both public school and, beginning in high school, a military prep school that would shape much of what followed.
He earned a degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering and a Juris Doctor, then stepped into a career that has since spanned consulting at Deloitte, serving as an officer in the Army Reserve, helping build multiple startup companies, and assembling a growing portfolio of business ventures. At the time of writing, he was serving as the Director of Operations at an energy development startup.
Chase holds his Series 7 and Series 63 securities licenses and is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), in addition to being a licensed attorney. He has worked across investment banking, project management, and legal practice in parallel with his operating roles.
Chase wrote The Illusion of Luck to turn one persistent question into a framework others can apply to their own lives. Not from the mountaintop, but from the climb.
